Growth happened in the first 2/3 days and voice started changing within the first week also. Chest and stomach hair sprouted.

It made me calmer to know that the T was in my system and that I was starting to go in the right direction.

For me the first changes I noticed was darker and coarser hair on my lower legs and arms.  Then my voice started changing and really dropped about 5 months in.  The last thing (and what I'm still working on after 2 years) is facial hair and chest hair.   Congrats and good luck!

Even the first day I got my shot I immediately felt more confident and more complete, it was a great feeling knowing I was starting my journey

yea, these were what I was curious about, wondering if while waiting for physical changes, if you could feel better emotionally, at least until the other stuff came around.

Thanks guys

Honestly Elijah, I couldn't imagine my life without T now. The longer I'm on it the better I feel. Even if you start on a low dose and the changes are mild to start with, I think you'll know within the first couple of months whether T will help to ease your dysphoria or not.

Honestly I got a bit of a rush on the first shot. It has definitely improved my mood and made difficult things easier to deal with as I'm going through the whole process.

It could be from having the right fuel or the physical changes, or it could be that it's one less thing to worry about.

Definitely this, I felt better instantly.

I find it interesting and very telling that people who do not id as trans who are given cross sex hormones for whatever medical reason do not like the way it makes them feel, and think. Depression is a comon side effect for the cisgender when given the very same HRT drugs that help a transsexual feel normal.
